continuous-time systems. The first part of this work shows that it is usually possible to design …

Near optimal interval observers bundle for uncertain bioreactors

M Moisan, O Bernard, JL Gouzé - 2007 European Control …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper we design an interval observer for the estimation of unmeasured variables of
uncertain bioreactors. The observer is based on a bounded error observer, as proposed in …

Closed loop observers bundle for uncertain biotechnological models

O Bernard, JL Gouzé - Journal of process control, 2004 - Elsevier
We propose nonlinear observers for a class of biotechnological processes. These observers
are an extension of the open loop asymptotic observers (observers with unknown inputs) …

Modeling continuous cultures of microalgae colimited by nitrogen and phosphorus

G Bougaran, O Bernard, A Sciandra - Journal of theoretical biology, 2010 - Elsevier
It is well documented that the combination of low nitrogen and phosphorus resources can
lead to situations where colimitation of phytoplankton growth arises, yet the underlying …

Observers for Lipschitz non-linear systems

C Aboky, G Sallet, JC Vivalda - International Journal of control, 2002 - Taylor & Francis
In an interesting paper R. Rajamani and YM Cho have proposed a systematic methodology
to design observers. They have introduced a new problem: relation between distance to …

Improving continuous–discrete interval observers with application to microalgae-based bioprocesses

G Goffaux, AV Wouwer, O Bernard - Journal of Process Control, 2009 - Elsevier
Based on intervals bounding the uncertain initial conditions, inputs, model parameters and
measurements, interval observers provide guaranteed intervals for the state trajectory …

Robust interval observers for global Lipschitz uncertain chaotic systems

M Moisan, O Bernard - Systems & Control Letters, 2010 - Elsevier
In this paper we develop and apply a robust interval observer to estimate the unknown
variables of uncertain chaotic systems. We consider that bounds of the uncertainties are …
